Off The Grid This is smart. You dont shut the government down because you have a disagreement over one thing. The government needs to continue to do what it does, and anyone that doesnt should be fired. Lets straighten something out. Stop calling these people pro-life. Because the same people that are pro-life support the death

Off The Grid Voting rights are under attack by Republicans in a display of blatant disregard for the minority vote in Alabama. The state is shutting down multiple state offices in almost exclusively black communities where residents can obtain licenses needed to vote. The state released a statement on Wednesday saying, An $11 million cut in

Travis Irvine Gov. Scott Walkers exit from the Republican presidential race seemed shocking enough. The once-frontrunner for the GOP nomination surprised people by suspending his campaign the other week, even though he was one of the more likely candidates — a real one, if you will. Yes, Walker was a tested Republican governor from a

Alex Logan Yep. 294 mass shootings — which the Washington Post describes as an incident in which four or more people are killed or injured by gunfire — and 2015 is only 275 days old. We can blame racism, Confederate flags, the lack of mental health care, or any of the other factors that lead

Off The Grid I hope it can happen. It will take time to do it, because unfortunately, Supreme Court Justices are in there for life. Imagine that. What was the purpose of that? That creates elitism, and it creates a system where theyre not in touch with the reality of the world. I hope Citizens

Off The Grid Michael Olsen from Illinois asks: Obama wants to bring in ‘Syrian Refugees’. Some strongly doubt that they are just Syrian Refugees, and are instead being used for an invasion. Which would be a serious threat to all of us. So, I had to ask you. What are your thoughts on this matter? Jesse

Jen Hobbs In August, the New York Times reported fewer than four hundred families are responsible for almost half the money raised in the 2016 presidential campaign, a concentration of political donors that is unprecedented in the modern era. However, Bernie Sanders is onto a new kind of fundraising — a technique that should actually be taking place in every

Off The Grid Wonderful! When I was the Governor of Minnesota, I, along with Supreme Court Justice Kathleen Batson and Attorney General Mike Hatch, expunged many marijuana records. I ran into that all the time. People came to us that got caught 25 years ago with a bag of pot, and it was still interfering with their

Off The Grid I dont doubt the statistics because gun ownership is covered by The Second Amendment. But with that ownership comes great responsibility. Is it going to be abused? Certainly. What I find interesting is that when they do these statistics of all these countries that have banned guns, Mexico is never part of the

Off The Grid Does the NFL allow the n-word? Would Donald Trump say its ok if a team was named that? What the hell is the difference? That term was used during the genocide of Native Americans. Nothing else. We should be ashamed of that genocide, not honor it by naming a team after it.

Alex Logan If capitalism could be represented in a symbol, itd be the Golden Arches of McDonalds. If the economic system had a mascot, itd be Ronald, their terrifying greasepaint and nightmares clown (which Ive never understood why a company would want associated with edible products of any kind). Honestly, Grimace would be a better

Jen Hobbs When Air France announced last week that it will cut 2,900 jobs, the employees retaliated by storming the corporate headquarters. A violent mob forced Air France managers to flee — their shirts were ripped from their backs, and they had to scale fences to escape. Meanwhile in the United States, Monsanto announced today that it will eliminate 2,600 jobs
